An important message for MCPS families

Manassas City Schools will waive the school meal charge limit beginning Monday, January 14, 2019, to ensure students have access to meals they may need in an effort to support families affected by the federal government shutdown. MCPS will allow school meal balances to accrue for the duration of the shutdown.

The decision further supports the current policy of the School Board of the City of Manassas that states all students are offered a breakfast & lunch meal daily regardless of their ability to pay for the meal.
